Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 83 ml oil One third of a cup, 83ml
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius and line or grease a muffin tin (I have used a silicone reusable muffin tin when testing this recipe)
  • In a medium sized bowl mix the applesauce and oil together (I use a whisk for this)
  • Add the remaining ingredients, I sprinkle the baking powder around as I'm too lazy to sift!
  • Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined
  • Portion into prepared muffin tin
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes

Notes

Tips

  • If you find these muffins too dense or chewy for your little one, try making them with quick-cook oats rather than traditional rolled oats.
  • These muffins will freeze, they defrost well if packed in a lunch or snack box in the morning to eat later in the day.
  • These muffins will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container, but as stated above do freeze well.

Ingredient substitutions

Rolled oats: I have not tested this recipe with an ingredient other than oats, although I do typically use quick oats as these result in a softer muffin texture.
Mild olive oil: My preferred oil for baking is a mild olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil will be too strongly flavoured in this recipe. Any mild oil will be fine in this recipe.
